  DxD legacy

  The sun rises over a suburban neighborhood you hear the birds chirping, school bus’s wheels turning and the kids walking along to their classes. The day begins for many but for someone the day began three hours ago.

  ***

  In a forest, far back in the country side, you see a figure wearing a white sweatshirt and red sweatpants punching and kicking a tree. The figure is dripping in sweat and panting it seems that they have been there for hours.

  “Draig, how many is it now?”

  As the figure removes his hood for a quick breather we note a young teen no older than sixteen is the abuser of the lonely three, in response to the boys question a voice awakens inside of the boys brain to answer.

  *yawns* “Mmh, I lost count after a 1000”

  *sighs* “didn’t I tell you to keep count? Its important that each muscle group gets equal amounts of exercise.”

  “well its not my job to keep count, is it that difficult to count for yourself?”

  “yes, yes it is. That’s why I asked you to count.”

  As the duo bicker, the tree that the boy was using to train slowly creeks and begins to lean to the right until.

  *bam*

  The three falls over after much abuse and now may rest in forest heaven. This tree isn’t the first victims of his victims, scattered around the forest, they’re many other trees that went out the same way.

  *sighs* “another one gone, this time it only took 3 days, I need something stronger”

  “kid, I don’t think there are many things capable to handle your strength here” (In only a two months issei was able to chop down 50 trees, this is the fastest growing user I’ve seen in a millennia)

  The boy is issei Kyoka, this year he turned 16 and in hopes of better academics he decided to enter a prestigious high school who until recently was a girls only school, and thanks to his good academics he was able to enter the immersion program. As a bonus if he’s able to graduate he will receive a hefty scholarship.

  Issei begins his day at around 4 am, he does a 8 mile run towards the forest to begin training his martial arts which is a mix of boxing and taekwondo. After an hour of training in the forest he does another run back to his home where he lifts weight until 8 pm where he begins a more normal routine.

  “Issei, breakfast is ready!”

  As issei finishes getting dressed after a cold shower he is fully awake and ready, he prepares his book bag and comes down for breakfast.

  “thanks mom.”

  “of course sweetie.”

  His family gathers around the table that include his mother, father, little sister, and him they begin to enjoy the breakfast his mother made with all the love she could muster.

  “So Issei and Nina, are you guys ready for your first days in school?”

  “yeah papa, ready to make friends”

  Nina begins her first day in kindergarten and she couldn’t be more excited, she was always full of energy and curiosity that the simple idea of the chance of seeing a new place and learning new stuff is something she always dreams about.

  “and you issei? Going to a past all-girls school must be nice. I wish I had the same opportunity back in your age”

  *clears throat* the origin of this comes from the opposite side of the table, issei’s mother shoots a glare so intense that a Victorian child may die from.

  “never mind your father sweetie, how many boys will be in the school?”

  “I heard that it starts with 100 boys to the 600 girls already present”

  “that’s nice, I just know you’ll make a lot of friends”

  “my son will he a lady killer I just know it, just like his father back in the day”

  A sudden slam on the table, coming from the other side, issei’s mother ready to pounce on the deer which is issei’s father.

  “well issei, I know you’ll be fine in this new environment I’ve raised you to be loving and caring to all people and especially women”

  Issei’s mother holds his hands.

  “so I better not find out that you decided to go on the deprave path that most men would take in your situation… if you do, there will be consequences… for both of you”

  “What did I do?”

  “mommy was a lady killer?”

  Another deep glare towards the man that simple looks down like a small puppy who doesn’t want to be hit again.

  “that, that’s what you did”

  “I’m running late guys, thanks mom for the breakfast and don’t hurt dad too much.”

  “too much?!” his father’s yells due to being betrayed by his own flesh and blood.

  *cracks knuckles* “no promises sweetie.”

  Issei leaves before the spectacle begins, he proceeds to walk to the school that doesn’t take that long. As he walks he wonders if he would be able to have a normal high school experience, ever since he knew the existence of draig he knew that his life couldn’t be normal, who knew that dragons were real and able to posses humans and to think one of the strongest dragon of their species resided in his left hand.

  “I can never get used to your family dynamic.”

  *shrugs* “yeah, you will get used to it.”

  In the distance, across the street were issei is crossing we see a figure hidden in the shadows observing him. Issei feels a presence behind him but as soon as he turns, the figure appears to have been never there in the first place.

  “draig, did you felt that?”

  “felt what?”

  *looks around and sighs* “nothing… but I feel uneased, aren’t you supposed to be like a divine dragon aren’t you able to be completely aware of my surroundings?”

  “kid I’m not your surveillance system and babysitter, plus I’m sealed. You might’ve worked hard but you only have unlocked ten percent of my power, I’m not going to be much of help to you in your day to day.”

  As he continues on towards the school Issei cant help but feel uneasy about the whole situation, he definitely felt something watching him.

  After a while he finally sees the school gates that look way bigger than in the brochure and the school in general seems drawn out of a gothic church designer book.

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

  He goes inside the main entrance and many new students are gathered walking towards the gymnasium for the schools entrance ceremony. As issei stands in line to enter the gymnasium he bumps into another new student. A boy with blonde short hair green eyes with the friendliest smile that only compares to a golden retriever.

  “woah bro, are you okay? Sorry about that”

  “it’s fine … I’m issei Kyoka” issei extends his hands for a handshake.

  The boy reciprocates issei comradery and is happy to return the handshake.

  “same here, I’m Lukas Nakamura”

  “Uh…kas?” issei confused, not understanding the pronunciation of the name.

  “my dad is from the Americas”

  “ohh”

  Understanding the name better, they begin to talk about their excitement about the new school.

  “I’m so excited dude, being in this school was a dream of mine!”

  “yeah the scholarship the offer is great”

  “scholarship? No dude I’m talking about all the pretty girls here, imagine all the possibilities… swimming class, p.e and many more the possibilities are endless” Lukas pants as if he can barely contain himself.

  *sighs* “let me guess all boy school?”

  “yeah… how did you know”

  Issei theorized that the school would also pull students from other schools who also had only 1 specific gender to them, to think other guys in his age acted like his father made simply shake his head in embarrassment.

  As the lines continues to move slowly but surely all the students are huddled into the colosseum. Lukas and issei sit together and wait for the presentation to begin.

  What comes next is pretty basic stuff most of the faculty explain their job, they get a brief history of the school and many more things that are important for the students to know.

  After the faculty finishes the boring part of the assembly, its been almost 2 hours, the student council president comes in to give the students a speech. Issei eyes open like never before as if he was thrown ice cold water in his face, the student council president comes in.

  She stood behind the podium like a painting drawn by god himself, scarlet hair cascading her back in fiery waves, her uniform only magnifying her elegance, her eyes a deep crimson that pierced his soul.

  Issei heart began to race like never before he began to shake for the first time in a while. The student council president presented herself as Rias Grimoire, that named bouncing around issei head and could only think about how… beautiful she was.

  “woah.”

  “yeah, I knew it that would happen, I heard myths about the presidents beauty but who knew they were true, right?”

  “yeah, it’s like…” issei’s simply admires Rias, as one would do a painting.

  As issei tries to compose himself and begins to look around to distract himself he begins to notice that a lot of the girls are also beautiful in their own unique way

  Issei starts to get red on the face, his head begins to spin, his palms are sweaty, knees weak, his arms are heavy, and for some reason he remembers his moms spaghetti of last night.

  “bro are you okay? You look nervous” Lukas now worried that something broke in Isseis’ head.

  “I don’t know what going on, I feel hot, my hands are sweaty and I’m shaking”

  “yeah and your face is red… wait, issei have you ever had a girlfriend… like ever?”

  “no dude, I was busy with other stuff.”

  Lukas smiles knowing exactly what’s happening. With the smile that resemble what your father gives to you when his proud.

  “welcome issei, to the world of the female beauty”

  The reason for issei’s reaction to this is very simple. He was able to awakened draig early on his childhood due to him running off and climbing a tree and falling a height that would’ve severely hurt him, and due to that draig was able to be forcefully awaken and protect from the severe injuries.

  after learning about Draigs existence and draig explaining his destiny of confronting Albion in a final battle, he wanted to train as much as possible before the final showdown.

  Due to issei’s intense training schedule he never had time to make a lot of friends and especially girl friends so he never developed that big attraction to the female gender most guys get at puberty.

  When confronted to Rias’ beauty the latent teenage boy ‘attraction’ to girls was suddenly awoken like a dam. As issei composes himself and the school assembles ends he begins his school days with going to classes and learning the ins and out of the school.

  It’s now lunch time and he was recommended to use this time to look for clubs to join and make new friends. As he walks around the school he begins to be drawn into an area of the school, something in his gut tells him where to go. As he continues to follow his guts he hears Draigs voice.

  “careful kid, this place feels off to me”

  “in what way?”

  Draigs stay quiet, for some reason he cant point what exactly makes the place issei is walking into off but it’s just feels off.

  “just be careful”

  As he makes his way to the top building he notices that this place feels abandoned but all the lights and air conditioning are on so there’s must be someone here.

  He arrives to the top floor and is meet with a hall ending with 2 grand doors that once again feel like something a gothic church would have.

  As he slowly approaches the door his gut continues to send him warning signal that aren’t stopping, ever step get heavier and heavier as if his body wants to stop.

  Whatever is at the other side of the door is something, evil, malicious, mischievous, demonic. He reaches the handle of the door which is made of either gold handcrafted by artisans from Norway or from Ikea.

  As he opens the door all those negative emotions disappear once he sees the red eyes of the girl who changed his perspective of his eyes.

  “hello there, how can I help you~” Rias smiles with a warmth that can melt all the ice of Iceland.

  Issei tries to speak but the words won’t come out, he might be choking now.

  “i-i-I” he quickly places his hand on his mouth hoping to shut his own trap before he embarrasses himself more. The mistress simply giggles at the little show in front of her.

  Issei takes a deep breath before composing himself, with prep time issei can completely focus to the point that nothing in this world can pull him out of this state.

  “I’m looking for a club and I ended up here”

  *claps* “well you’re in luck, other than being the student council president I also manage the occult club.” She shuffles in her desk, after a brief moment she finds a pamphlet and walks towards you to hand it over.

  “I really hope you join, its been a while since someone join our club and you’ll be the first male club member for obvious reason”

  Even though he’s the master at the art of complete focus due the intense mornings of training and in the summer, whole days. It became apparent that it almost impossible to focus when it came to Rias, everything about her caused an array of thoughts around issei’s head.

  Her seductive lips, her red eyes that pierces his soul, her red hair that can stain the moon red with its glow and her smile that made his body fall in a state of pure relaxation.

  “I- I would love to join, I always had interest in the supernatural since I was little.”

  “are you sure you don’t want to check the pamphlet?”

  Without a second thought “no I’m good.”

  “ok then… oh wait we haven’t introduced ourselves, I’m Rias Grimoire, what’s your name?”

  “I’m Issei Kyoka”

  “welcome to the occult club, Issei Kyoka”

  The simple act of his name leaving the red sirens mouth made his stomach flutter. Rias goes back to her desk, ruffles around looking for something and brings back a weird looking charm.

  “here, a necklace that represents your association with the club, is not mandatory but its proof that you join our little group plus if any bad spirits try to approach you, this will protect you from it.”

  “thank you.”

  Theres pause in the air that slowly becomes awkward, before too long the bell rings signifying the end of the lunch period and the continuation of the school day.

  As issei enters the last class of the day he sits next to a girl, her long, dark hair flowed like silk, slightly tousled in a way that felt both natural and effortlessly alluring with a smile that has a secret to hide.

  “hey, how’s your first day of school going?”

  Issei is startle at this question, he doesn’t know what has gotten into him today but he continues to compose himself, this girl to in front of him is very attractive so once again he needs to enter complete focus to avoid embarrassing himself.

  “well its going pretty well, I’m liking my teachers and the classes I’m taking and making new friends so its all good all around.”

  The girl smiles and places her hand over issei’s hand “that’s glad to hear… we should hangout later, after school would be nice just you and me”

  “like a date?”

  “yeah”

  The idea of going a date for the first time sounds really good but due to the fact that he doesn’t know this girl very well kind of de-turns him from going, only an imbecile would go on a date with a girl he barely knew.

  “and who knows if the date goes” she leans in to whisper in his ear “ill show you something you would never believe… was possible.”

  But maybe life is too short for someone to always go with the safe option and we should all live a little.

  As time passes, the final class comes to an end, issei begins to pack his bag and ready himself for his first date with a girl, the girl offers her hand to hold before departing towards the park to get some ice cream.

  ***

  In the occult club room we see rias sitting at her desk looking over some important documents about the schools new club, current club information and many other important things.

  The doors open to welcoming another member of the club who also is a part of the student council. Another siren beckons introduction, her long raven hair style in high rise ponytail tied with ribbon that accentuates her glamour, her smile that is not warm, not cold but evokes dominance.

  She takes a deep breath, in a sultry voice “is there a new club member rias?”

  “why yes, akeno how did you know?”

  “I smell male perfume… how are things going with the search for the dragon user?”

  Rias sighs “still the same, we had some spikes in some areas but as soon as I go check them, he already left… I don’t even know how I would convince them to join even if I find them”

  “well if it’s a guy it’s going to be a very simple task to make him join”

  “and why is that?”

  Akeno shakes her head in disbelief “Oh Rias, trust me most guys would join in a heartbeat”

  “now that you mention that, the new member did join rather quickly, he didn’t even read the pamphlet”

  Once again akeno shakes her head in the density of her friends mind: “well hopefully he’s cute, I’ve always wanted boy friend” she licks her lips “and take a closer inspection on that cologne”

  Chapter one end.
